== Hitching In ==
During daylight it's usually not a problem to hitch on on-ramps close to Amsterdam, so if you've been at gas petrol station for 25 minutes you might want to give it a try at an on-ramp closer-by.
Public transport is fairly okay in the Netherlands. There are convenient metros from e.g. the Bijlmer. It could be worth it to get a "15-strippenkaart" (6,90 EUR, valid on local buses, trams and metros in the entire country).
